shift light install
 
I just got a shift light (traded for an intake filter). I was wondering if any of you guys have wired one in and how to do it. Oh and about the accuracy thing, what should i set the thing at 4,6, or 8. Im going to wire an adjustable resistor thing so i can just set it at where i want it.

thanks in advance

Why get a shift light when you got a buzzer :D

Is it an aftermarket shift light? The OEM one that comes on some rx-7s is wired into the ECU. All it does is tell you the best time to shift for good MPG.

its an autometer. i dont really like hearing the buzzer (usualy means im low on coolant) and i got it for basically free, so i figured i'd put it in.

ok so its in now. works like great. the green wire goes into this sleeve connector thing (wire with female crimp) coming off the front-bumpermost (leading?) coil wiring. set the switch in back of the light to the lowest setting (4 cylander?).

yup when I hooked up my tach and shift light, you have to set it like a 4 banger because it fires like one.
